Jack, thank you. We have tried two other PCI slots. Same system freeze up
problem presist.
Actually, most of the systems in our office now has this Netgear Adapter
inside the computer, (but without installed the drivers), and all system
works well, except without wirelss connection, of course.

Hi
You first need to rule out a defective card.
Exchange the card with a card from another computer.

Jack, thank you for your advise.
We have tried to load the Net gear drivers to all the computers in this
floor (around 23 computers). All freeze and lockup. So, we removed the Net
gear drivers.
We tried to swap the PCI wireless adapters cards between several systems in
the three rooms near our tech service departments. Same lockup results.

In the installation manual of my NetGear wireless card it is
explicitely said, that you have to install the network drivers
_before_ you install the card. It is also said that you will have to
uninstall the drivers and then remove the card before a new
installation attempt, if you have made the mistake mentioned above.

Dirk,
OK. Following your suggestions, we tried both, before and after inserting
the adapter.
Same result. We give up. No response what-so-ever from Netgear.
